"The hierarchy is clear for both goalkeeping coach Claus Fallentin and head coach Ove Pedersen. Thomas Mikkelsen is the first goalkeeper, Mads V Petersen, who is recovering from a meniscus operation comes before Paul," the club said.

Director Gert Hansen said that Paul was signed up as the club felt that he would be included in the squad without weakening it. He, however, said that he would not expect Paul to play Premier League matches in the spring.

"It's of course a signaling towards our Indian investors Anglian Holding. We have achieved the goal we set ourselves when we began our partnership, namely that we should see if we could find a strong enough squad and develop this player. We will in this way also try to open some doors and get some sponsorship from India. It is also part of the idea. I do not expect that Paul plays Superliga in spring; but purely sporting he may now well be with; but he is not Thomas (first goalkeeper). There is still a good piece."
